<h2>org.autoplot.dods.MetaDataScraper</h2><p>Scrape the metadata from the <dods URL>.html form of the data. Get a new instance, call parse( <dods URL>.html ), then call getAttr(String varName) which returns a Map of the properties. Note the scraping is only necessary because Jeremy forgot about the .das and .dds extensions. .dds returns the stream syntax. .das returns the metadata.</p> <h2>MetaDataScraper( )</h2> <p>Creates a new instance of SPDFMetaDataScraper. Use parseData then getAttr after creating the instance.</p> <hr> <a name="getAttr"></a> <h2>getAttr</h2> getAttr( <a href='https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html'>String</a> varName ) → <a href='https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Map.html'>java.util.Map</a> <p>provides the attributes for this variable in a map. The keys are the String attribute name (e.g. UNITS) and the values are either type String or Double.</p> <h3>Parameters</h3> varName - the variable name <h3>Returns:</h3> the attributes <br><br> <a href="https://github.com/autoplot/dev/search?q=getAttr&unscoped_q=getAttr">[search for examples]</a> <a href="https://github.com/autoplot/documentation/tree/master/javadoc/org/autoplot/dods/MetaDataScraper.md">[view on GitHub]</a> <a href="http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~jbf/autoplot/javadoc2018/org/autoplot/dods/MetaDataScraper.html#getAttr">[view on old javadoc]</a> <br> <br> <hr> <a name="getRecDims"></a> <h2>getRecDims</h2> getRecDims( <a href='https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/String.html'>String</a> varName ) → int[] <p></p> <h3>Parameters</h3> varName - a String <h3>Returns:</h3> int[] <br><br> <a href="https://github.com/autoplot/dev/search?q=getRecDims&unscoped_q=getRecDims">[search for examples]</a> <a href="https://github.com/autoplot/documentation/tree/master/javadoc/org/autoplot/dods/MetaDataScraper.md">[view on GitHub]</a> <a href="http://www-pw.physics.uiowa.edu/~jbf/autoplot/javadoc2018/org/autoplot/dods/MetaDataScraper.html#getRecDims">[view on old javadoc]</a> <br> <br> <hr> <a name="parseURL"></a> <h2>parseURL</h2> parseURL( <a href='https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/net/URL.html'>java.net.URL</a> url ) → void <p>retrieve the URL, which should be a dods server form. The content is scraped, looking for textareas with the name <i>varname</i>_attr. The textarea content is assumed to be a newline delimited set of name value pairs, name: value.
